I sort of surprised that you haven't converted to Hinduism. After
all, the Bhagavad-gita proclaims that Jehovah and Jesus are just pranks
played by Vishnu/Krishna, so you don't have to abandon them. And the
"orthodox" Hindu view on abortion (as found in the Manu-smriti) holds
that every period a woman has is the blood of an innocent human life
snuffed out before it could begin and is proof of her (and her husband's)
deliberate and culpably negligent killing of a human being. Since this
"out-catholics" the catholics, I'm sure you would approve.

(answer continued) By the way I'll tell you why I can't accept
Hinduism. In the Hindu paradigm we are all part of God (Brahman). We
are ignorant. Therefore God (Brahman) would have to be ignorant. I've
never heard a good answer to this objection.
